“Unexplained Deaths” Becoming #1 Cause of Death in 2022 – Deaths of Children and Young People Explode in Europe
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
One of the statistical anomalies we saw in 2021 that the corporate media refused to address, was the fact that more people died “from COVID” in 2021 than in 2020 when the “pandemic” started and reached its height, and after the FDA fast-tracked several new drugs and vaccines to “prevent COVID” or “reduce the chances of death” from COVID-19 at the end of 2020. See:
2021: COVID Deaths Increase, Flu Deaths Disappear, 400,000+ More Total Deaths than 2020
But here we are now in the 9th month of 2022, and all across the world in many countries it is being reported that “unexplained excess deaths” continue to increase, from “all cause mortality” and not from COVID, even though the number of COVID-19 vaccines administered has drastically fallen in 2022 as compared to 2021.
Alberta, Canada has recently reported that “Unknown Cases of Death” took over the “top spot” for causes of deaths in 2020, displacing “Dementia” which held the top spot since 2016, and more than doubled in 2021, and is still increasing here in 2022 and is now finally being investigated.
In Europe, statistics provided by EuroMOMO, a European mortality monitoring organization, show that there have been more excess deaths recorded in 2022 than in 2020 and 2021, and that the greatest increase in deaths has occurred in children and young people.
While governments and corporate media continue to describe these as “unexplained” deaths, many doctors and scientists have predicted that these new, never before tested on humans, experimental COVID “vaccines” would continue to cause injuries and deaths months, if not years, after they were administered, if the injected survived the initial spread of the “spike proteins” injected into their bodies which then spreads to every cell.
Many now have weakened hearts, cancer, blood clots, neurological issues, autoimmune diseases, etc. that are weakening their bodies and can cause them to have early, “unexpected” deaths, even though they have been told by their doctors in most cases that these conditions “have nothing to do with the COVID vaccines,” while all of these diseases are recorded in the U.S. Government VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) database in record numbers following the COVID vaccines.

Prehistoric Korea
Episode 24: Korea – Land of Morning Calm
Foundations of Eastern Civilization
Dr Craig Benjamin (2013)
Film Review
Benjamin begins this lecture by describing King Dangun (grandson of the Lord of Heaven), mythical founder of Joseon, the first Korean kingdom.
Joseon, a prehistoric walled city near the modern North Korean capitol Pyongyang, dates from 2300 BC. Built while Korea’s neolithic villages were consolidating into larger town-states, it’s is associated with giant unworked tomb markers known as dolmans* and undecorated “mumun” pottery.
Korea experienced its Bronze Age during the first millenium, accompanied by the emergence of powerful leaders and coercive states. Numerous bronze artifacts (bells, mirrors, swords, axes chisels, scythes and hoes) begin to appear in the eighth century 8 BC, possibly related to trade with China.
During this period, Koreans abandoned their river valley villages and built settlements in the foothills and mountains to increase agricultural production in the flatlands. They grew rice** and millet, as well as domesticating pigs and water buffalo. A clearly identified elite formed, who buried their dead with jade and bronze jewelry and chariots.***
Between 57 BC and 668 AD is known as the Three Kingdoms Period (Koguryo, Paeckche and Silla), although there was a smaller also a small fourth kingdom Kaya. All four were continually at war with one another). Initially ruled by a council of chiefs, Koguryo (founded 37 BC) became a hereditary monarchy, consisting of noble aristocrats and a lower class made up of farmers and slaves. Paeckche was founded around 18 BC by two brothers who adopted Chinese dress and produced a sufficient agricultural surplus to establish an artisan class. Silla was founded in 57 BC, when six villages joined forces to elect a paramount chief to defend them from hostile armies.
In 194 BC Wiman, a Chinese general from the Yan dynasty conquered Joseon and ruled it as the independent state Wiman-Joseon. In 109 BC, the Han emperor Wudi invaded Wiman-Joseon and ruled northern Korea as a Chinese colony for 400 years. His efforts to rule southern Korea were failed.
When the Han Dynasty collapsed in 220 AD, the Korean kingdoms successfully drove out their Chinese occupiers, though they faced new military aggression following China’s reunification under the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Under Chinese occupation, Buddhism spread to Korea from northern China, and the three larger kingdoms all adopted Buddhism as their official religion. The kingdom of Silla also adopted Confucianism, which ended their tradition of human sacrifice and the burial of retainers with their rulers.
After 581 AD, repeated Chinese invasions of Korea’s coast led to an unsuccessful invasion of Koguryo (611 AD) costing the Chinese close to one million troops. A second invasion in 614 AD would bankrupt the Sui Dynasty and cause its collapse.
Following its own unsuccessful invasion, the Tang dynasty that followed allied itself with the Silla kingdom, as the latter fought off a military invasion by the Paeckche. This enabled Silla to take over most of Koguryo and Paeckche and to rule most of the Korean peninsula for 900 years.
*Prehistoric Dolmans are found through Eurasia, but the highest concentration is found in Korea.
**The japonica variety, which, according to Benjamin, must have come from China around 1200 BC)
***Indicated early Korean civilization was influenced by steppes nomads, as well as China.

To Be or Not to Be: One With Russia
Sample Ballot. “Are you in favor of the Donetsk People’s Republic becoming part of the Russian Federation as a subordinate republic of the Russian Federation? Yes/No” Photo: RIA Novosti
Internationalist 360°
The right to hold free elections is one of the fundamentals of a democratic society, but it’s a freedom which has been outlawed in Nazi-controlled Ukraine where eleven opposition parties have been banned. In August, the Kiev regime warned that anyone who promotes or organizes referendums faces a staggering fifteen years behind bars.
But even such dire warnings could not stop citizens of the Kherson and Zaporozhe regions nor those from the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, who began voting in earnest Friday on whether or not to become republics of the Russian Federation.
According to Canadian correspondent Eva K. Bartlett, who was in Kalinskiy district when the voting started, the process is simple and straight-forward. People show their ID, write their home address, get a ballot and vote “yes” or “no.”
“Of course, western pundits have already decided this is a sham referendum,” Eva notes on her Telegram channel, “but the people here don’t care what the West says. The West has been arming Ukraine, which is raining bombs down on Donetsk, killing 6 people yesterday, 16 people Monday, 4 people Saturday…and thousands over the past 8 years. Enough is enough, the people are voting and don’t be surprised if the results are for the DPR to join Russia.”
As a correspondent working in the Donbass region, Eva has already seen enough death and destruction to last a lifetime, and this month has been especially brutal, as Ukrainian military forces have been shelling civilian areas with long-range artillery supplied by the US and NATO allies. You can see just some of the mass murder here, but I must warn you that these photos are uncensored and extremely graphic. There are bodies, pieces of bodies, and blood everywhere.
So it is no shock to anyone who has seen this terrifying slaughter, why the majority of people living in the eastern part of Ukraine may no longer want to be part of a country which has targeted them for oblivion.

But like everything in the Donbass these days, voting is dangerous. Special precautions have to be taken so that people can vote despite intermittent bombardment by Ukrainian troops and neo-Nazi militias. Many residents volunteer to go door to door, delivering ballots to their neighbors who will vote from home rather than risk traveling to the center of the city where bombs are more likely to fall.

The voting will go on for five days, from September 23rd until September 27th, to help ensure the safety of the people living in the war-torn regions where the referendum is taking place. Because of the danger of shelling, voting is not being held at polling stations but in adjacent areas and in people’s homes. However, on the final day, the polling stations will be open.
The day before the referendum began, Eva talked with a woman at a market in Donetsk. The woman was from Makeevka, an area which has been bombarded by shells from Ukraine’s nationalist militias and fighting forces, who show no mercy when it comes to civilians.
[…]
“Many do not know how we live here. It’s very, very scary,” she continues, referring to people in countries influenced by western media, which has been mostly silent about the suffering of Russian-speaking Ukrainians, referring constantly to Russia’s Special Military Operation as “unprovoked.”
[…]
But none who know Ukraine’s history of Nazi collaboration doubt the real reason Russia crossed its borders into the Donbass.
Donetsk resident Russell Bentley has no doubt that the majority of people will vote to join Russia. An American ex-pat who has served alongside soldiers from the Donetsk People’s Republic, Russell is more concerned that the referendum might divert the Russian Federation from its originally-stated goals.
[…]
“The people of the Donbass Republics were forced into a military response in order to defend themselves against terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian military and the Kiev regime 8 years ago,” Russell continues. “The Russian government, after exhausting every diplomatic option, was forced into a military response to prevent genocide of Russian people in Donbass. A military response has been taken, and must be adequately maintained until full victory is achieved, because in this war, just as in the Great Patriotic War, we have only 2 choices — Victory or Death.”
He refers to the eight-year struggle of the people in the Donbass, who formed their own independent states, which were finally recognized as sovereign republics by the Russian Federation and its allies in February of this year.[…]Via https://libya360.wordpress.com/2022/09/23/to-be-or-not-to-be-one-with-russia/Kiev’s Bloody Attempts to Disrupt the Referenda

New COVID Plandemic Documentary Exposes Truth About Ivermectin and Scandal That Let Millions of People Die Needlessly
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
Film producer Mikki Willis self-funded and self-published the most censored and most-viewed documentary in 2020 exposing the fraud concerning the COVID-19 “pandemic” that he and others have correctly relabeled as the “Plandemic.”
If you have never watched it, you are truly missing very important information about the pre-planned event that changed our world forever. See:
PLANDEMIC: Full Feature Film Released Online Amidst Tremendous Opposition and Attempts to Censor it
Willis is now producing Plandemic III, and he recently released a 13-minute documentary on Ivermectin, the FDA-approved drug with a 30+ year record of safety and efficacy, which many physicians began to use to treat symptomatic COVID patients with, and a near 100% recovery success rate.
The corporate media and the government medical tyrants, namely Dr. Anthony Fauci, did their best to discredit this simple drug that was curing everyone, because to admit the truth was to admit that legally they had no basis to issue an emergency use authorization (EUA) for novel new drugs to treat COVID, including the COVID-19 vaccines.
We have covered this issue extensively for the past 2 years, and the crimes against humanity that saw literally millions of people worldwide die needlessly due to this negative propaganda, and a search on our network for Ivermectin will return a result of 53 articles.

Pennsylvania County Sues Dominion Voting Systems for ‘Unauthorized Python Script’ & ‘Foreign IP Address’
KanekoaTheGreat
Fulton County, Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems this morning for a “breach of contract”.
The county says that it became “aware of severe anomalies” with Dominion Voting Systems during the 2020 election after it was unable to reconcile “voter data with votes actually cast and counted”.
An investigation by Wake Technology Services of West Chester, Pa. into the machines at the county’s request in February 2021 found numerous significant issues with the machines.
These included ballot scanning errors and non-certified database tools installed on the system.
Speckin Forensics Laboratories based out of Lansing, Michigan, was retained to acquire forensic images of six hard drives in Fulton County, Pennsylvania on July 13-14, 2022.
The private forensics firm, whose “examiners have presented testimony in over 30 states”, produced a county commissioned report on September 15, 2022, which revealed “several deficiencies” that directly contradict the “contractual terms and conditions” provided to Fulton County by Dominion Voting Systems.
The report alleges that Fulton County’s log files show “an external IP address” located in Quebec, Canada, and that an unauthorized “python script” had been installed after the certification date.
Moreover, the system’s security patch had not been updated since April 10, 2019, and default usernames and passwords had not been changed since the time of installation.
The report says, “This python script can exploit and create any number of vulnerabilities including, external access to the system, data export of the tabulations, or introduction of other metrics not part of or allowed by the certification process.”
What’s more, this “external IP address” was found on the very same adjudication workstation that contained the “post certification python script”.

Western media continues to ignore how Ukraine is using NATO weapons to kill innocent civilians in the Donbass
Aletho News
By Eva Bartlett | Samizdat | September 23, 2022On Monday, Ukraine slaughtered 16 civilians, including two children, with 155mm NATO shells, according to the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Denis Pushilin. The projectiles hit two adjacent neighborhoods, decimating residential and commercial areas – including a market that had previously suffered fatal attacks.
Scenes of death are nothing new for residents and reporters here in Donetsk, which is intermittently the target of Ukrainian attacks, like the one that hit its central region on August 4, killing six people, including an 11-year-old ballerina, her grandmother, and her ballet teacher.
But the carnage on Monday was worse than anything I’ve seen in my months of reporting here. Chunks of flesh littered the street – part of a hand, a foot, an ear. Someone had put a dead man’s phone on his stomach. It was ringing, the cheery ringtone incongruous with his lifeless body and the scenes and stench of death around him.
For most people, the concept of war is a distant one, and deaths are normalized by media reporting the numbers of victims and destroyed buildings – so most who hear of civilians being killed don’t really understand what a scene like this looks or smells like.
For the locals, it is also normalized, in its own way, after over eight years of Ukrainian attacks – a tragically grotesque kind of normality, where the post-bombing routine starts soon after the last explosions die down.
When I arrived at the scene, locals were already sweeping up glass shards and boarding windows, preparing to reopen their shops. Inspectors from the Russian Investigative Committee were on site collecting shrapnel and measuring the shell’s impact point, to determine the nature of the armament. When asked about what happened, they were careful to state that they could not say anything until the conclusion of their investigation.
An emergency vehicle arrived and workers began loading the bodies, or body parts, onto stretchers, clearing them away.
About 100 meters away, there was a gaping hole in the side of an apartment building. The shell had struck right where writing on the wall indicated the direction to the nearest basement, which was to be used as a bomb shelter. Doors to such stairways are generally permanently left open, so that anyone caught up in shelling might have a chance to survive, if they can make it to the door and basement in time.
Victims of another Ukrainian assault, which took place on Saturday, didn’t have that option. The center of Donetsk was hit by at around ten bombs over the course of 30 minutes around noon. At least four civilians were killed, one of whom I saw still on the ground. Some minutes later, her body was taken away. One of the shells hit a car driving along Artema Street, setting it ablaze and killing two civilians. By the time I reached that site, the vehicle had burned out, the dead taken away. Workers were already repaving the roads, sweeping debris and glass from sidewalks.
Western weapons killing Donbass civilians
When Russian and Donbass voices state that Ukraine is killing Donbass civilians with Western weapons, the reply is silence, derision, or inversion of reality: claims that Russia is bombing Donbass – which any ordinary resident here would disprove easily, having been under Ukraine’s shelling for over eight years.
War correspondent, Christelle Neant, wrote of Saturday’s bombings:
“After submitting the photos of the shrapnel I found on the spot to Adrien Bocquet, who is now a NATO weapons expert for the DPR’s representation in the JCCC (Joint Monitoring and Co-ordination Center on Ukraine’s War Crimes), he confirmed that they were American 155mm shells, some fired from Caesar guns and others from TRF1 guns.
The famous TRF1 guns that can fire (banned) 155mm cluster munitions, which I had mentioned in June, and which the Western press had assured that France had not supplied to Ukraine! Before learning at the beginning of September that Paris had indeed sold them to Kiev!”
Europeans in Germany, France and Italy recently held “#StopKillingDonbass” actions, denouncing the sale of Western weapons to Ukraine, and calling for it to end. It was rather fitting that the actions occurred the day after Ukraine bombed central Donetsk again.
These actions were followed by the release of a petition against arms supplies to Ukraine, which stated:
“Today, contrary to the fundamental principles set forth in Article 2 of the UN Charter, in particular, the principles of sovereign equality and the peaceful settlement of international disputes, our countries supply Ukraine with weapons that cause massive deaths and injuries of civilians in Donbass, including children.”
It concludes: “We demand an end to the financing of state terrorism and genocide against the people of Donbass, as well as the ongoing violations of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and other acts of international humanitarian law since 2014.”
At this point, there is no safe region in Donetsk, nowhere is off-limits for Ukraine’s bombings, not maternity hospitals, nor busy markets. The issue does, however, appear to be off-limits for the reporting of Western corporate-owned media.

VAERS: 37-Year-Old Oklahoma Man Dead 2 Days After Monkeypox Vaccine
by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News
The latest update of the U.S. Government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) today (Friday, September 23, 2022) records the death of a 37-year-old Oklahoma man two days after receiving the JYNNEOS/BAVARIAN NORDIC monkeypox vaccine.
He was vaccinated on September 7th, and died two days later on September 9th. (Source.)
This is the second recent death reported to the public since the vaccines were made available just 3 months ago (June, 2022).
The first death was a Hollywood makeup artist, who died 9 days after receiving a monkeypox vaccine. (Source.)
According to the CDC, as of September 20th, 684,980 doses of the monkeypox vaccine have been administered, the bulk of them being in July and August. (Source.)
With less than .1% of the public now being vaccinated with the monkeypox vaccine, there have been 719 cases filed in VAERS, including 1 death, 1 permanent disability, 3 life threatening events, 56 emergency room visits, and 4 hospitalizations. (Source.)
These 719 cases have recorded 2,212 symptoms, and excluding injection site reactions and mistakes in injecting the vaccine, the most prevalent symptoms seem to be skin conditions, including:
Urticaria – very itchy weals (hives)Pruritus – itchy skinHyperhidrosis – excessive sweatingRashesThere were 19 reports of “Loss of consciousness.” (Source.)
The CDC has stated that they want to expand the injection of people with the monkeypox vaccine to children.

W E B Du Bois’ Fight for Equality
W E B Du Bois: The Fight for Equality and the American Century, 1919-1963 (Vol 2)
By David Levering Lewis
Henry Holt and Company (2002)
Book Review
Although Lewis depicts the early civil rights activist as personally flawed, he also heavily emphasizes his amazing flexible intellect. Even in advanced age, DuBois had a remarkable ability to adjust his world view with changing political circumstances. changed.
As Lewis puts it:
In the course of his long, turbulent, career, then, W E B Du Bois attempted virtually every possible solution to the problem of twentieth-century racism – scholarship, propaganda, integration, cultural and economic separatism, politics, international communism, expatriation and third world solidarity. First had come culture and education for the elites, then the ballot for the masses; then economic democracy; and finally all these solutions in the services of a global ideal of economic and social justice.
Volume two begins after World War I, when Du Bois was the founder and editor of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) magazine The Crisis: A Report of the Darker races. Initially DuBois fully supported the NAACP agenda to address racism by installing as many “Talented Tenth”* African Americans as possible in academic and professional positions. The NAACP reasoning was that professional African Americans would use their economic power and political influence to improve the lot of the Black masses.
In 1934, a dispute over his promotion of Black economic independence (which violated the NAACP’s strict de-segregation policy) and his growing interest in Marxism led to his resignation from the NAACP to teach at Atlanta University. Following the termination of his Atlanta University contract in 1944 (he was 74), he returned to the NAACP and his prior leadership role in the Pan-African Congress (which he helped found in 1919). He was formally dismissed from the NAACP four years later (just before his 80th birthday), after some of his articles caused the FBI to label the NAACP as a communist front.
In 1951, he was indicted by a grand jury for failing to register the antiwar Peace Information Center (disbanded in 1950) as “the agent of a foreign government.” Although the court dismissed the case, the State Department refused to return his passport until the Supreme Court struck down their policy (in 1958) of suspending passports of political dissidents. In 1961, the first Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah offered him a position compiling an Encyclopedia Africana. He joined the Communist Party USA the day before his flight left.
At age 95, he became a Ghanaian citizen when the US, once again, refused to renew his passport. He died a year later.
The book discusses in depth a number of of Du Bois’s significant accomplishments in the second half of his life:
His public feud with Marcus Garvey, largely over the latter’s financial mismanagement of a campaign to resettle African Americans in Liberia.**
His introduction to mainstream American historians of the technologically advanced kingdoms across the African continent prior to the arrival of Europeans.
His campaign, along with African American actor/singer and playwright Paul Robeson, to keep the US out of World War II.
His publication of a definitive history of Reconstruction to correct its misportrayal in standard history books prior to World War II.
His unsuccessful campaign to get a declaration of Black rights included in the UN Charter and Declaration of Human Rights.
His open opposition (along with Robeson’s) to Truman’s hostility towards the Soviet Union (which Lewis blames largely on Truman’s incompetence and reliance on ultra-conservative advisors), the Marshall Plan,** NATO and the Korean War.
His visit with Nikita Khrushchev in 1958, leading to the latter’s creation of an African Institute to support the growing Pan-African campaign of decolonization.
*Talented Tenth – a term devised by white philanthropists designating the “leadership class” of African Americans in the early 20th century.
**As Lewis points out, Garvey was the first civil rights activist to mobilize large masses of poor and working class Blacks, hosting crowds as large as 25,000 in Madison Square Garden.
***Marshall Plan – although ostensibly a humanitarian aid program to war-torn Western Europe, DuBois saw the Marshall Plan as hostile to the Soviet Union (which was excluded, despite taking the brunt of human and economic war casualties) and apt to polarize East/West relations.
